To My Fellow Classmate Shucheng Liu
Today we mourn my fellow classmate, my friend, my academic partner, Shucheng Liu with a deep hearted sorrow! A few days ago, when his wife, Professor Jingsheng Song, told me the news, I was really shocked and sad. Due to the three-year epidemic, cross-border travel has become very inconvenient. I have not been back to the United States for many years, so I knew little about Shucheng's ALS. I remember the last time we met was five or six years ago in Shanghai, if I remember correctly. I had dinner with Shucheng and Jingsheng. At that time, he still looked very healthy, maybe I was more or less insensitive and didn't see anything unusual about him. So I was very surprised by the news of his sudden passing away from us!
Time flies! It’s unbelievable that our first acquaintance was 35 years ago! When I went for the very first time to study abroad in the United States, I arrived at Columbia University in New York. Shucheng was one of the first few Chinese students I met there. Back then, there was still a relatively big cultural shock and differences in life styles between two countries. Shucheng arrived in the States about one year earlier than me, I believe, so I learned a lot from his experiences, both good and bad lessons from life.
Moreover, since both of us studied under the same thesis advisor, Professor Goldfarb, we also had a lot to share in studying. Shucheng warned me that the doctoral qualification exam a year later would be as difficult as hell. Looking back now, I don’t fully remember how I passed this purgatory journey, but it was thanks to the help and cheer from Shucheng and our fellow Chinese students. Thank god, both of us eventually and successfully graduated and got our Ph.Ds.
Afterwards, there were some ups and downs of hunting for a job as a foreign student in the United States. I finally landed a job in a small college town as an assistant professor, which is located in the snowy and windy Midwest, while Shucheng and Jingsheng made their home in sunny Southern California. So, I love to travel to Southern California for sunshine from time to time, for business or pleasure. As long as I got to their town, they would treat me to a nice dinner.
Later, Shucheng and I had the opportunity to collaborate academically together. Both of us shared similar academic interests in mathematical programming, the rigorous training we received at Columbia University, and a common interest in applications of financial engineering, so we naturally conducted academic research together while staying in different cities, and we persisted for many years. We published at least two academic papers and gave lectures at many academic conferences. He was the only Columbia classmate that I collaborated with on papers.
I am extremely saddened and sorrowed by Shucheng's passing. Here I express my sincere condolences to Shucheng's wife and children! I hope that everyone from now on will take great care of your health, spend more time and attention on exercising and healthcare!
Shucheng: Both of us are experts in financial engineering, more or less, God may not like finance that much, but I am sure you can communicate with God effectively in a language of mathematical programming!
May Shucheng Liu rest in peace in heaven forever !
Your fellow ,
Dong Shaw, Ph.D.

I've been hearing a lot of stories about my dad lately and am about to hear a lot more today. Beautiful stories, meaningful stories, heartwarming, powerful, and humorous stories, about the type of man, the type of husband, colleague, classmate, brother, friend, that he was. I love hearing these stories, but at the same time, I always find it a little odd since the figure in all those stories is not the same one I knew. That's not the relationship we had, one of a father to a son.
Maybe Chinese father-son relationships today have a more quasi-equal, friend-like dynamic, but the traditional Chinese father-son hierarchy demanded a more distant, respectful interaction style. While my dad was far from the stereotypical image of the stern and authoritative patriarch, he still followed a more traditional style, never one to often express his love verbally or physically. But all the same, his dedication as a father was unmistakable.
One memory stands out of what he was like as a father. It was my first day of middle school, and I felt it was going to be a momentous day marking my entrance into proper high society, aka, the cool kids club. But first, I had to walk to the spot where the school bus would pick me up.
My dad offered to walk with me, to make sure everything went smoothly and I didn't get lost or abducted on the way there. Showing up at the bus stop with my dad sounded like social suicide, so I told him absolutely not, I could do this myself, I needed to do this myself. He didn't fight me, he just made sure that it was what I really wanted.
I make it to the bus stop just fine, as you would expect. It was a five-minute walk in Irvine, not exactly a trek through cartel territory. The bus arrives, I get on and head straight to the back, because, as everyone knows, that's the cooler half of the bus. I find a seat next to the blue-haired star athlete soccer boy and the pretty blonde Russian girl who used to be our neighbor. Everything's going well. The bus starts driving, and the Russian girl suddenly says, "hey isn't that your dad?" And everybody turns to look out the window.
It was indeed my dad, very poorly hidden behind the bushes a stone's throw away from the bus stop. As the bus passes, he quickly ducks further behind a taller bush, but we all see him. He had secretly followed me from home, staying out of sight, to accompany me to the bus stop. I felt quite embarrassed at the time, but it's become one of my favorite memories because it's such a small story that encapsulates how he was as a father. He listened to my wishes and respected them, even if he didn't understand why I wanted to do something, he recognized my desire for independence. Still, he kept close just in case I needed his help, silently supporting me just out of sight. He just picked the wrong bush that day.
He gave me the distance and respect to grow into my own person and find my own path, just as he had done when making it out of his tiny village in rural China. At the same time, he always made sure he was available to support me in some way just in case I needed it, even if it was from behind a bush. Through a combination of following my dad's example plus using
the space he gave me to figure things out for myself, he provided everything I needed to grow into the best version of myself.
I'm about to be a father soon, too. My wife, Ivy, is still hiding it quite well, but she's pregnant with our first child, to be born next spring. My dad loved reminding me he wanted grandchildren, so I'm glad he was able to see me get at least halfway there. Sadly, my dad passed less than twelve hours before my wife and I could meet with our OB to learn the gender. We're having a boy. This is actually the gender reveal party, thank you all for attending.
I'm going to be the father of my own son, news that's as exciting as it is terrifying.
I don't know exactly what kind of father I will be to my son. I mean, I don't really know if that's something a person gets to decide. But I do know that if I can be at least half as supportive as my dad was to me, then I'll be a great father.

2021年6月，我在纽约。看股市上上下下挺热闹，就和刘总发发感慨。他告诉我他们全家也在纽约，参加女儿同学的婚礼。然后邀请我们去他佛州的度假屋玩。
我当时对开20个小时的车到佛州实在没信心，尽管刘总一再邀请，还是没去。
有些人有些地方，我们总觉得还有机会。这也是我最遗憾的，错过了和刘总全家的这次同游。此后，就再也没有机会了。
佛州之行后，刘总的症状开始严重起来，出行对他，是一件不太容易的事了。
2022年7月，我去刘总家里看望他。尽管做了心理准备，可是看到印象中爽朗挺拔的他坐在轮椅上，还是没忍住眼眶的泪。
然而，刘总温暖和熙的笑容不变，我和刘总的太太，教授交流着生活和工作中的事情，他一直微笑着看着我们。由于疾病困扰，他已经不能正常进食一段时间了。
婚姻幸福、儿女优秀、事业成功。
无论从人生的哪个纬度衡量，刘总都是成功人士。
刘总和太太堪称神仙眷属，一起从北京来美国留学，又双双拿到哥伦比亚大学的博士学位。
他们感情有多好？从一个细节就可以看出来。刘总太太宋教授，杜克大学商学院的终身讲席教授，在家里，是为刘总洗手做羹汤的主妇。教授曾开玩笑，她出差久了就急着回家，因为担心刘总在家没人做饭饿瘦自己。
记得几年前，刘总和太太从中国访问回来后请我饭聚，我远远看见教授的侧颜，正在和谁说话，笑容灿烂明媚，再一看，原来是和刘总在聊天。
要知道，这对夫妇已经结婚30多年，还是这样甜蜜如初见的相处模式，怎不令我们这些后辈们心生敬仰？
刘总和教授一起养育了一双杰出的儿女。一个毕业于杜克大学，一个是康奈尔大学。记得曾请教刘总怎么培养孩子，他说你得做好准备，因为孩子小的时候家长需要投入大量时间陪伴。每个周末，他的两个孩子，8趟接送。
许是刘总太过谦逊低调，我只知道他是一家著名金融公司的核心成员。后来才知道他在数学领域颇有造诣，举世瞩目的三峡工程，他是项目组特地请回中国的论证专家之一。
疫情前，我经常跑去刘总家，捧回一袋袋他的有机小农场生产的各种蔬菜，从他家的三楼远眺，是波光粼粼，碧蓝的湖水。
当时心想，有美满的家庭，热爱的工作，还有环境优美的居住环境，幸福的人生不过如此吧。
尽管疾病来的突然，来的古怪，但是刘总仍然平静面对，用他充满感染力的笑容，鼓舞着他身边的每一个人。
西方常提到legacy, 那么，刘总留下的legacy是什么呢？在我看来，是热爱家人热爱生活，是面对困难永不言弃，是对这个世界充满好奇和探索精神。
我们会永远想念您。

祭树成
尊敬的前来参加树成祭奠仪式的先生们女士们：
哀维:我们在国内老家的所有树成亲属谢谢你们的光临和帮助，给大家叩首了。
吾弟树成出生于一个平凡的农村家庭，自小勤奋、聪慧、能吃苦、能说会道，自己嘲讽自己是讲不死，大哥是死不讲，很讨老人及庄邻的喜欢；几岁时，想吃菜园里的黄瓜，他就把黄瓜摘下来放在一边然后告诉大人：“你看黄瓜都老掉梗了”大人平时虽然不舍得摘，但掉下来了就叫孩子们吃了吧。两岁左右的时候本来会走路的他，因为当时农村穷吃不饱饭，加上农村兴修水利，母亲把他带到水库工地上、母亲的奶水和饭食供不上需求，后来有半年多不能走路。上学后，学习上一直很努力，门门功课都是班级前几名；初、高中阶段学习尤其刻苦，经常秉烛夜读、通宵达旦；解题时总是考虑还有别的解法吗？他的演草本中的题号、格式、演算过程都记录的一丝不苟，为的就是便于查证找因。他的名言是”脑子再好使也不如烂笔头”，所以他的课堂笔记都是把老师讲的要点、难点及其解决难点的关键、方法过程记得一清二楚。在高考复习前夕，盛夏的夜晚，被烈日炙烤一天的大地散发着热气，像蒸笼一样又闷又热，蚊虫又多，其他人都到处找乘凉的地方，而他就用塑料薄膜裹在身上（这样就不怕蚊虫叮咬了），在煤油灯下孜孜不倦的学习；一分耕耘一分收获，就是这样，他凭着坚强的毅力，勤奋刻苦，经过不懈努力终于考上了南京大学数学系。毕业前，为了考研，劳累过度病倒了，甚至到支撑不住的病危状态，我守在他的病床前几天几夜，一周后才渐渐好转，带着病体踏进了中国科学院应用数学研究所；和导师们一起参与三峡工程可行性与最优化方案的论证；取得硕士学位之后，留所从事华氏(罗庚)运筹学理论与应用研究，两年后赴美留学获博士学位，一直留美工作至今。
树成的一生是勤奋拼搏的一生，是不断进取、积极向上的一生，是有担当、负责任的一生，是刘姓族人中的佼佼者，是家庭的荣耀与靠山，是同学中的好兄弟，是后辈的学习榜样；为工作竭尽全力，干到无法坚持；对家人、亲朋关心备至，赞助创业、支持脱贫，对母校留下雕塑激励后生，对同学热情友爱，帮助有佳，胜似亲兄弟......
天有不测风云,人有旦夕祸福;树成工作未辞就觉得身体有恙，经多方问询查证诊断，不是基因遗传也并非一般常见之症,实属世界难以医治的病;一无特效药二受疫情影响,虽有家人子女精心照料近三年，但抱石无法打天,经抢救无效而安详地离开我们，你走的太突然，使得我们无法前往和应对，只好肝肠寸断哭声连连喉哽咽,血泪沾襟哀号祭奠,一家大小甚惨凄,悲痛难陈,可恨阴阳两隔离,只好万里把奠祭,愿音容笑貌犹在,恩德长存,保佑儿孙五福齐全。
树成一路走好、赴天堂极乐世界安息吧!
呜呼哀哉
尚飨
愚兄携全家叩拜
祭树成
出身农村家贫寒、
从小聪慧讨人欢、
玲牙利齿把学上、
刻苦勤奋善钻研；
学成名就进高府、
参加论证与讨研、
择机赴美来深造、
留美工作数十年；
为族为家又为朋、
努力工作多贡献、
族耀家荣皆欢喜、
前程无限艳阳天；
疫情卷起掀恶浪、
难冶之症身上染、
抗争三年仍无果、
家人子女受熬煎；
突然添病忙抢救、
再世华佗也枉然、
天堂极乐去安息、
永远怀念铭心间。
血相溶、心相通、一母血同饮；手足情同根生、严父传四人；
雁失序、齿离唇、相依相随停；兄唤弟、弟喊哥、阳阴两离分；
身染恙、佗难医、地裂天崩讯；亲者悲、梓里寒、西域东疆喑；
情深深、意切切、怎能忘容音；时缓缓、路漫漫、九泉含笑迎。
兄树民（Older Brother Shumin）

I had the great fortune of working with Scott on my first product management job at MSCI. I had just joined the firm and never before sold a product, and I was in way over my head. I met him my second week in the Berkeley conference room during one of his periodic trips back to the office. He calmly explained how the product worked, what our clients liked about it, and the research work his team was working on. His guidance and teaching was incredibly helpful for me, as it was so many at MSCI.
I will miss his fast and easy smile, tremendous knowledge and creativity, and always positive attitude.

回忆九九年初我刚从纽约来到Barra,不认识任何人,Scott 是我在Barra认识的第一个同事, 他亲切和蔼,不吝提供很多帮助,而且还是南大学长,一下子让我觉得不再迷茫.
虽然我在Barra工作只有一两年的时问,但是记忆中每次中国同事的聚餐,似乎都是因为Scott来Berkeley,所以对我来说,Scott就象Barra中国人的兄长,虽然有人离开有新人加入,但是因为Scott,好像我们离开Barra的人还和Barra有着牵挂.
还记得我结婚前曾在Ivine 见到他,他给我的祝福和鼓励,至今还历历在目.
这些年忙于家庭和工作,只是在微信上和Scott 时而联系,但是Scott 的音容笑貌,就好像就在昨天,
Scott 您一路走好,愿天堂里再没有病痛.

惊闻Scott兄长的噩耗，我倍感震惊。作为MSCI Berkeley Office中国同事中的晚辈之一，我有幸在伯克利自2016年起和Scott兄长有过几面之缘。每次Scott来伯克利办公室，也是我们一群中国同事一起聚餐的欢乐时光，席间我们都很享受Scott兄长给大家带来的风趣幽默的笑话。虽然我和Scott兄长在工作中并没有交集，年龄也有不小的差距，但是不妨碍我们之间成为忘年交。我们逢年过节在微信上都有问候，记得2020年我在工作上得到新的成就被公司认可的时候，Scott兄还特意第一时间在微信上给我发来祝贺信，让我这个晚辈内心倍感温暖。我相信Scott兄长一定是去到了天堂，继续在那里研究着美妙的数学公式。望家人节哀！

听闻Scott不幸离世的消息，感到万分悲痛和遗憾。虽然在内心深处也知道ALS仍没有有效的治疗方案，我和我的家人还是希望能尽量帮忙找些保健品来减缓病程的发展。真是没有想到这么快就不得不与他告别。
第一次见到Scott是他和宋老师邀请我去家中做客。那还是2018年的夏天，Scott给我开的门，他的笑容深深地了烙入的我的内心。那是一种不需要用多少言语就能让人感到无比亲切的笑容。再次见到他已经是2022年的5月。他已经坐在了轮椅上，消瘦的身形让人心痛不已，但依旧不变的是他的笑容，正如第一次先到他时的样子。病魔可以折磨他的身体，但无法摧毁他乐观积极的人格。天国没有病痛，望宋老师和她的家人们节哀。

听闻噩耗，深觉痛心和惋惜。虽然我和Scott只有一面之缘，但我对他的印象十分深刻。2010年Scott到香港的时候，我带他走访了不少客户。除了Scott 的经典微笑之外，我感受最深的就是他的博学，儒雅和幽默。后来在工作的时候虽然一些联系，但是一直没有机会再见面。去年夏天被调回到纽约之后，我便马上与Scott联系，希望能和他再次见面。那时候才得知他已经患病，但是没想到噩耗来得如此突然。Scott得人格魅力能感染他周围所有的人。希望Scott一路走好，在天堂安息！

我与树成虽然位据两省， 一个苏北， 一个鲁南，实际距离并不远， 一直以老乡自居， 他是真实的家乡老大哥。
树成的才干自然不在话下，讲话幽默有趣。他招牌式的微笑很有感染力，和他在一起自然也跟着开心。印象中从未见树成着急过，也不记得他有过什么抱怨， 不管聊什么话题， 他总能以幽默的方式轻松带过， 这份睿智沉稳的心态， 实属难见。
最后一次见树成时， 他已不能进食， 不能讲话， 只有一只手可以有限的动。即使这样， 他脸上依然挂着往日的微笑， 神态平和。
树成的菜园也是一景， 虽然我小时曾种过几年地， 对树成的菜园也是望尘莫及。 多年来也没少光顾他的菜地。
树成有一个 聪慧有趣的灵魂。 可惜天妒英才，我也痛失良友。
树成兄走好！

2022年11月22日凌晨（北京时间），收到老师的消息，说到Scott 今早不幸去世了，我当时就愣住，是非常震惊的那种愣住了，这是真的么，Scott怎么说没就没了呢！到现在我还在问自己，这是真的么。我想写点什么东西追思Scott ，每次写的过程中不禁想到Scott温暖而得意的笑容，想到再也不能见到菜园中Scott的身影，。，怎么都写不下去。这几天回忆就像挤牙膏一样每次挤出一点，每次挤出一点。
第一次见到Scott是2011年8月底我初到Duke。周末老师带我去参观家里，第一眼看到了Scott倍感亲切，和蔼可亲,像爸爸一样慈祥。接着我就惊讶Scott的渊博知识，因为Scott从中国地图嗖的一下点出我家乡的位置。那张地图只标出了几个大城市，根本没有标出我家乡的城市，没想到就这么一个小地方Scott根据长江的位置精确定位到了。接着我了解到Scott是南大、哥大的高材生，这是万里挑一的天之骄子。Scott一点点架子都没有，说话幽默风趣，每次都能把我逗乐，关于我的姓名Scott说了一个laser的段子我现在教课跟小朋友们在分享。
最温馨的时刻是在卡拉OK的时候当老师和Scott一起拿起麦克风，能看到Scott嘴角微笑的上扬。 唱完后Scott会分享自己和像Paul这样的朋友一起卡拉OK的经历。这样不知不觉的一下午一晚上就过去了。几次在济南、厦门都见过Scott，茶余饭后我听Scott讲了好多过去的故事，像在哥大求学的时候，怎么和老师分配桌子去工作，夜里和老师一起拾一个二手的家具还担心被人追，快毕业之际有了Peter后怎么做一个父亲。
除了家里的石头、各种最新的碟片，我最敬佩Scott还有家中的菜园。我感觉这里是一个心灵的栖息之所。老师和Scott两人通过勤劳的双手，创造一个被自然环绕的氛围，享阳光，闻花香，听一草一木诉说恬静与优雅。帮老师和Scott干活福利多多，有次给了我一袋子西红柿，我回家放在冰箱里。晚上我在Fuqua干活的时候，室友把西红柿炒了做饭吃。吃完后，他给我打了一个电话，“老铁，你这哪里弄来的西红柿，太好吃了，我忍不住了一个人把西红柿全吃掉了，没给你留了。”我想老师和Scott都是我们小辈的榜样，激情焕发充满干劲儿，通过自己的付出累积出最可口的果实，然后把这些果实分享给别人。
悲伤无所遁形，语言难以抚慰。但我想Scott一定希望他老师和孩子们幸福。愿Scott安息！愿Scott的爱和乐观的精神给家人力量！

怀念Scott
噩耗传来，震惊而悲伤。我和 Scott 共事的日子虽不是很久， 但却是终生难忘的记忆。他聪明睿智， 待人谦和，Barra 的中国同事们待他亦师亦兄亦友。我们这些曾经的Barra 中国同事，不管先来后到，是否谋面，都能形成一个自然而亲切的团体，这都与 Scott 在其中的核心作用以及他的天然亲和力分不开的。我和Scott虽说有很多年没见面了，但通过社交媒体，他和同事们每一次聚会，我都会关注，甚至有身临现场的感觉。当然，我也一直期待着有一天能和Scott再次真正的重逢。而今，这份期待变成了永远的遗憾。不久前我是刚刚得知Scott 患病，我想，以Scott乐观豁达的生活态度，以及日新月异的医疗技术，我对Scott战胜病魔是持乐观态度的，至少也是一个持久战。可现实击碎了我们的愿望。对我们来说，Scott 并没有离去，他永远在我们身边。他的音容笑貌将长留在我们的记忆中。
树成兄，一路走好， 我们想念你。

原以为只要播这个号，我永远可以听到一个温暖敦厚的男声回答我无尽的问题。却不曾想所有的美好如今只留下回忆，电话的那头再也不会响起那让我信任也令我安心的回音。
记得我们做领居时你的宽厚笑貌，记得和你一起开party 时你的风趣和幽默；记得去北卡时你送我的又大又甜的大西瓜；记得你们来波士顿看时候我们一起吃饭畅聊，记得......。句号，一切都成了句号，不会再有新的记忆加入。这令人沮丧句号这么早就出现让我心痛难过。
刘树成，以前都是你给我安慰，信心和建议，今天我也想给你一个建议：在你离开的路上，遇到你的朋友，你不要跟他们走；遇到你的家人，你不要跟他们走；你要跟着那最明亮的光走，那里才是你该去的地方-天堂。
天堂没有病痛吧，你又是那个健康，睿智，温暖的帅哥了吧。一路走好。
我尊敬的刘大哥。
谢谢你给我的帮助，谢谢你给我的力量，谢谢你给我的知识。你的音容笑貌会是我永远的记忆。
你真心的朋友 秦士英

认识Scott超过20年，刚到Duke的时候，我就住在他和Jeannette的家中。那段时间和他们愉快的相处让我更多地了解Scott。在我心目中，他是Jeannette知心和彼此成就的伴侣，是Peter和Daphne慈爱且引以为豪的父亲，是我们那个乐观、幽默的师长和朋友。
回国工作后也时常有机会见到Scott，有他在时气氛总是轻松愉快，每次短暂的相聚都留下欢笑和美好的记忆，可惜没能有机会陪他们在国内转转。总以为疫情会很快结束，下一次的相聚还和从前一样，没想到得到他离开的消息。不愿相信再也没有机会听他和我们开开玩笑，再去Duke的时候不能见到菜园中他的身影。另一个世界没有病痛，愿Scott安息，愿Scott的爱和乐观的精神给家人力量。

惊闻树成兄猝然辞世，令人沉痛无比。同学群内，无不惋惜错愕。悼念之词，纷至沓来，非微信所能承载；缅怀之情，思如泉涌，非言语所能表达。
忆当年同窗，相聚金陵。恰其时，改革初启，百废待兴，正青春朝气，发奋图强。课读研讨，同侪相励，共图进取。树成兄和蔼可亲，诙谐幽默，待人诚恳，极易相处。笑容常在脸上，风趣不离口中。处变不惊，制诸物于股掌之内；审时度势，化争执于谈笑之间。同辈敬服，推为班首。
四载勤学，毕业临近，正跃跃欲试，一展抱负，却偶染胃疾，至于住院，全班上下，为之忧心。然有惊无险，终得痊愈归来，同学亲友，额手相庆。
想初到纽约，同在哥大，住处相离不远，孩提亦在同龄。往来频仍，清茶淡饭，儿童嬉戏，父母畅谈，亦不快哉！追思往日，犹历历在目。
及岁月更迁，定居海外，犹心存故土，情系中华。片语微情，常勾起家国之念；新闻轶事，总牵动赤子之心。重病之时，仍冀望回国探视，奈疫情肆虐，终未成行。
痛哉！追忆刘兄，思绪联翩。音容笑貌，犹在眼前。记忆永存，友情长在！
扬子江中水，
紫金山里云。
水高悲声远，
云低愁绪深。
昔为同窗伴，
今是两界人。
音容仿佛在，
长忆树成君。

The first time I met Shucheng was in the small room across from our IEOR department office. It was just like yesterday. Professor Goldfarb told me that the two smart Chinese students are starting today and please go and help them with some paperwork. When I got to the room I saw Shucheng and Siyun there filling forms. That was 1986.
Many years later when I started working in Boston, Jingsheng and Shucheng visited us. We (together with my wife Yushuang) visited many places in the Boston area including Tea party, Mayflower, North Bridge and Lexington Battle Green. Some of these places were my first time visiting. Shucheng knows American history well; wherever we go he told us a story. "April showers bring May flowers" when we visited the MayFlower ship of Pilgrims in Plymouth, MA. In subsequent years whenever we had friends visiting, I brought them to these places and re-telling those stories.
Back to the school days, we did a school project together on the "Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP)" while taking a course from Professor William Cook when he visited Columbia. The project is to find the "best" tours for 17 cities problem, then the 26 cities problem, then the 48 cities problem. Shucheng has always lots of good ideas. TSP was a hard problem then and it is still today a hard yet interesting problem for many people to research.
I always remembered Shucheng's smiles. His smiling faces come to mind more often these days. The memories will forever be remembered. Rest in peace my friend.

缅怀树成！(In memory of Shucheng)
Shucheng came to study at Columbia IEOR in August 1986. As I was already a student in the department at the time, I went to pick him (and Siyun, who came to the US on the same flight) up from the Chinese Consulate in New York City. That was the first time I met him. I remembered that, when Shucheng unpacked his luggage to settle in the new apartment, the first thing he did was to put Jingsheng’s picture on the nightstand (Jingsheng transferred to Columbia from Georgia Tech the following year).
During our days studying at Columbia, we did many fun things together: discussing academic work in the student office, playing computer games in the computer room, watching the New York Big Apple Ball Drop at Times Square on New Year’s eve, and shopping and eating together in Chinatown.
Like a big brother, Shucheng offered helps to me whenever needed. One particular example was when I went to visit China in the summer of 1988. Back in those days, overseas students could buy four pieces of electronics each year from the duty free store in China (it was a big deal at that time). But I did not have enough money for that. Shucheng generously lent me money.
After graduating from Columbia we could only see each other from time to time. I visited Shucheng and Jingsheng multiple times at their Irvine home (first apartment, then a house); we would party at their New York apartment when Jingsheng came back to teach at Columbia in the late 1990s; and we would often visit each other’s house after they moved to Duke (and before I left for Michigan). Knowing that they were moving to North Carolina, I was so excited and the first thing I did was to send Shucheng a book about North Carolina so that they could start to prepare for move early (at that time we could not find everything from the internet yet). And yes, we enjoyed the vegetables Shucheng grew in their backyard in Chapel Hill. The last time we saw each other was in Hawaii International Airport in the summer of 2016, and Shucheng proudly told us how Peter was enjoying his time in Beijing and Dalphanie was to start her doctoral program at UW.
Shucheng and I would have phone call every few months to discuss various matters such as world politics and the stock market. That was stopped due to the busy schedule in the last several years when I took a leave to work in industry. It was very sad that the next news arrived was Shucheng’s passing.
It is hard to believe that Shucheng has left us. Indeed, he will always live in our heart.
Rest in peace, Shucheng.
His smile and sense of humor will always be remembered.
He will be missed.

Hi Scott,
Barra工作十年，跟你见面交谈基本都是中国同事聚餐的时候， 对啦那时我是个才出校门只做UI的程序员，不需要懂你深奥的算法。 那时候只要你来，就会聚餐，Wei肯定来招呼我们这边的码工，我自然会去，因为可以听你聊天，轻松没压力开心长知识。丰年，鹿鸣春，应该是你最喜欢的两家吧。丰年总是人太多，所以除了过年订楼上的位子，好像平时还是鹿鸣春去得多一点。还记得吗？有一次鹿鸣春的老板自己当服务员，结果把菜汤儿洒了我一袖子，虽然老板不住道歉还送了一份菜给咱们，可是我一身菜汁儿味儿，还得回办公室，觉得自己好倒霉，很委屈，一时不知如何是好，尴尬住了。你正好坐我旁边，笑呵呵地玩笑说我应该请老板在另一边再洒点儿给大家再谋一盘菜的福利，在场的人都哈哈大笑，尴尬劲儿一下子散去，我也把倒霉事当成功劳啦，继续享受聚餐的快乐。
直到现在我才知道你的年纪，惊讶你竟然比我们那一波入职Barra的朋友年长这么多。一定是你的魅力让我们敬重你的同时又没有任何距离感， 觉得你也就大我们3，5岁， 是个温和的兄长。你的样子在我Barra的十年间从来没变过，后来偶尔看到你们聚餐的照片，你的样子还是没变，就如如今纪念页的照片，永远是温暖的笑容。我想这就是永恒吧。我们都会想念你，也相信你离去之时已经把你的乐观幽默，你永恒的笑容留下陪伴我们。

Dear Scott,
上周一早上起床后，例行随意地浏览了一下各微信群的发言。突然，一个新群耀然眼中--“In Memory of Scott“。。。我的心随之一沉，知道最害怕、最担心的坏消息终于还是不请自到了。
记得去年年初你打电话给我提前透露你打算退休养病的消息， 令我震惊不已！一直以为你的嗓音沙哑只会是短暂的不恙， 你终究会恢复到昔日的容光焕发、满头乌发、令人艳羡的冻龄状态， 还会继续在MSCI领导优化研究直到永远。即使你10月份真的退休以后， 我还一直幻想着我们还能时常联系，你还能有问必答地帮助我解决工作中的棘手难题， 就像今年7月29日那样。 真没想到天妒英才，你走得这么早、这么快！
过去的一周是美国的感恩节周， 你的音容笑貌一直浮现在我的脑海里， 挥之不去。感恩命运安排， 有缘、有幸与你在MSCI相识和共事， 成为你的直系下属长达21年之久。这些年来， 承蒙你的领导、关心、和帮助， 我在MSCI工作得很顺利、很开心。你专业知识渊博、严于律己、宽于待人、不屑于微控、游刃有余地梳理职场上的各种关系， 是最好的老板。不仅我这么认为， 你手下的其他人也和我交流过、有共识， 都对你的人性化领导方式感恩。记得我刚生完第二个孩子不久， 你飞来伯克利工作时，给我带了两套非常可爱的高档童装， 并告诉我说是你太太特意选来恭喜我的。这份温暖和关照， 令我至今记忆犹新。
二十多年弹指一挥间。感恩在人生的旅途上有你同行这一程！你虽然已经离开了我们，但你留下的文章、手稿、代码、和优化精髓仍与我们日日相伴，为我们照亮前方的道路。相信你的家人和你的在天之灵一样， 一定会为你给MSCI留下的优化领域的科技与精神遗产而感到自豪，为你广为称颂的人缘而感到欣慰。
安息吧， Scott！你永远活在我们心中。愿你在通往无忧无虑的天堂途中一路走好！

Dear Scott，
年初 得知你重病的消息，震惊不已，在我的脑海里，你总是显得那么年轻健康 热情洋溢，认识20多年，岁月好像没有在你身上留下痕迹！没想到我们现在就要说 永别 非常难过！
在Barra/MSCI工作的日子，很是期盼你来Berkeley的那周，周一的早上去coffee station，不自觉地就会去check你来了没有，互相的问候和聊天，留下诸多美好轻松的回忆。
工作上经常要跟Optimizer team打交道，你的像Bible一样的research paper是各个产品优化模块的backbone，工作中有任何疑问，在你那里总是能得到满意的答案，让人仰望你渊博的学识，你沉思的样子还历历在目…
一直期待疫情结束后，你来Berkeley再聚，没想到这一天再也不会到来了，难过！祝愿在天堂的你，没有了病痛，看着世间的亲人朋友继续你的愿望，我们总有一天再相见！
愿你的家人保重 节哀 Hug！
Dear Scott，you will be missed forever，RIP！
Love，Helen

记Scott
Scott是我在BARRA/MSCI时期认识的老朋友。25年前（1997年）我加入BARRA, 由于Aurora和Aegis Platform中Optimizer的一些问题而請教Scott, 他有问必答，非常耐心地解答我的各种问题。那时候的Scott, 待在公司的时候多（不像后来他许久才回公司一趟）, 所以我们经常一块儿吃饭聊天，从一开始聊工作，公司的人和事，扩展到生活，家庭，社会，......，几乎无所不聊。這种吃饭聊天的交情即使在我离开MSCI去了Barclays 之后的数年仍然保持。
记得他告诉我谁谁又换工作了，我问“你咋知道的？都离开BARRA这么多年了”, 他回答“因为他们都拿我做References啊，只要他们换工作，我就知道”, 可见他的人缘有多好，BARRA同事找工作都喜欢找他当推荐人。
还有一回，我因刚去的新公司里一些Office Politics的问题心里有些不快，上班期间给Scott 打了电话，本来只想吐槽一下，没想到他不仅耐心地听完我吐槽，还帮我分析情况，建议如何应对为好，末了还加上一句“怎么样？现在心情好点了吧”, 我真的很感激他。与君一聊，赫然开朗。十分难得的朋友。
前几年，我的一位朋友因公司Restructuring，需要重新找工作，他在MSCI网站上看到一个Senior Manager的职位想申请，于是我请Scott是否可内推一下，没想到我信息刚发出，就马上接到Scott 的电话，他说看了他的Resume, 觉得那工作不算最适合他，以他的资历应该申请更高的Senior position，建议申请另一个更高更好的职位，真是位热心人， 即使对待素味谋面的人。
Scott 就是这样一位难能可贵不可多得的老友。 不仅专业强，智商情商高，还富有幽默感，充满正能量，让人如沐春风。Scott是MSCI中国人的标杆，是我们大家学习的榜样！
与Scott多年的友谊，他的音容笑貌，曾经美好的记忆， 长存我脑海。时日虽短，感谢他曾经来过，愿Scott在天堂一切安好！

Shucheng and I were office mates throughout my doctoral study at Columbia University. I remember that Shucheng was very nice, hard-working, quiet, and had such a disciplined lifestyle that he came to the office almost every morning, read papers and did research there, and then went home with Jeannette in the early evening. Shucheng, you’d never be forgotten.

由于同为应用数学所的毕业生，作为后辈的我习惯叫Scott刘老师。我曾于2017年至2018年访问杜克大学一年。认识Scott是在我到达美国几天后，去拜访时还特意带了他爱吃的北京稻香村糕点。
在访问期间，我也住在教堂山，所以经常被邀请去他和宋老师的家里做客，他家的菜园也成了我们一家经常光顾的地方。回国后，刘老师还经常微信发给我一些菜园收获的照片，印象最深的是Scott收获的冬瓜好大。
Scott知识渊博、风趣幽默。我们微信聊过很多话题，从美国总统选举到疫情期间孩子在家上网课，每次交流都有收获，也会被他乐观的心态感染。
最后一次见到Scott是2018年刚回国不久，在北京跟Scott和宋老师一起吃了晚饭。今年7月份还给他发过一次微信，提到回国的隔离期缩短了，未曾想成为最后一次交流。将来再也收不到Scott发来的菜园照片了，那里曾经有我们美好的回忆。Scott一路走好，相信他在天堂依然保持乐观的精神，也感染着每一个人。

缅怀树成兄 (Scott Liu),
惊闻树成英年早逝，深感悲痛。树成兄不仅是我共事多年的挚友，也是相识已久的老同学。往事如烟, 依然历历在目。我是1983年在应用数学所进修时与树成首次认识。他是我的同门师兄。虽然时隔多年，他给我留下了聪明勤奋幽默风趣的深刻印象。我们的共同导师在我面前不止一次地夸他品学兼优。毕业后我们各奔东西，没想到1996年我与树成兄在美国偶遇, 并在他介绍下入职Barra。之后一直与他在优化项目共事到他去年10月退休。在工作上，他兢兢业业、一丝不苟、精益求精。他知识渊博(特别是在优化专业领域)， 能力超群，并且乐于助人。作为他的同事，我受益匪浅。作为一位领导，他精明强干、知人善用、 广受敬重。在为人处世方面，他以诚相待、善解人意、平易近人、乐观向上，情商极高。
愿树成兄一路走好。你的音容笑貌将永远刻在我们心中。望宋老师和家人节哀顺便。

It was so sad to hear that Shucheng had left us. We have been talking about him from time to time, about his wisdom, humor, friendship, optimism and of course the fun time we were together in Irvine playing poker cards! In particular, we had a fun trip
together to Carlsbad to see the beautiful flower field in 1999. It was fortunate for us to have Shucheng as a friend.
Shucheng, we will miss you and we will always remember you. Rest in peace!
Jingsheng, take care! Our hearts are with you and your family!

缅怀树成
刚到美国的前几年我和树成并不熟，当时只是从金发和他的其他师兄弟口中得知树成的为人，在我印象中树成总是那么乐于助人，无论是学业上还是生活中，他都给予后来来哥大的小辈师弟们很多帮助。起初印象最深的是大家在file tax return 时得到的帮助。当时初来乍到，对美国很不了解，对美国的税务更是一无所知。当时树成对大家的帮助是很大的。当时我并不认识树成却因此对他有了最初的印象。后来因为我考CFA， 和树成的接触多了一些。他不仅做我的推荐人，还传授我考试的经验，得到过他很多的帮助。这些年因为大家都忙，又由于住的地方相隔甚远，没有太多的接触，但在我的印象里他总是那么乐观，开朗豁达，睿智却又不失幽默，对生活永远充满信心。一个多星期前还想到他，觉得好久没有听到他在另一个哥大小群里发声了，还想着要不要问候他。他英年早逝，但他的音容笑貌一一在目，我们会一直怀念他。天堂无病痛，树成兄一路走好[Worship][Worship][Worship]。希望京生和家人节哀顺便，多多保重[Hug][Hug][Hug]

和树成兄结缘应是起于2008年在柏克莱的一次餐聚。依稀记得当时是和宋疾兄在午休时到柏克莱健行，行间宋疾兄提起晚间在柏克莱的台湾饭店有个公司同仁们组织的餐聚，邀我同往。我欣然应邀，而后才得知这次聚会是应刘兄到访柏克莱而组织的。之后的十来年间刘兄每次到访柏克莱都为不少家有贤妻的同仁提供一个名正言顺的理由夜不归营，大块朵颐，实在是功德无量！
印象中的刘兄温文尔雅，谦逊有礼，脸上总是带着和熙的浅笑。记得有一次树成兄在席间提起他在非洲进行人道援助工作的公子，虽然语气中略带担心，眼中却满是为儿子感到骄傲的神采。我虽不曾有幸和刘兄共事，但却不时听闻刘兄不吝提拔后进的事迹。十来年的往来中，我从不曾在他口中听到过任何无论是对人或对事的负面话语。树成兄确实展现了君子如玉的人格特质，为我们这些后进树立了中华学人的前辈风貌。
2019年10月26日我，Chuck和丁鹏有幸在疫情爆发之前在南三藩市小聚为树成兄回北卡送行。我们还盼着他以后回湾区再来聚一聚，聊聊他逍遥天南地北的经历，没想到此别竟然已成永别，今后却是遍插茱萸少一人。惟愿刘兄家人早日走出悲痛，在未来的日子里代您活出下一段精彩美好的人生。

缅怀树成
听闻树成仙世，感到很震惊和悲痛。我是90年到哥大时才认识他和京生的。我很欣赏他乐观处事，以微笑面对问题的态度。他乐于助人。90年我被哥大录取时，听应用数学所的老师说京生和树成在哥大。我就往IEOR给京生写信问一些问题。因为之前不认识他们，我写的是Mr. Song（后来在哥大见到京生，她戏称自己是Mr. Song，让我惭愧）。我没想到收到树成给我的回信。他在信里仔细列出要带什么东西的清单。在IEOR的第一学期，我有个线性规划的计算机程序要完成。我正发愁怎样编译我很久不写的FORTRAN程序。就向他请教，他花了一个多小时帮我调试并纠正我程序中的问题。他还分享了他积攒多年的IEOR博士资格考试题。对我在哥大第一年的学习帮助颇大。这些我都铭记在心。后来跟他熟悉以后，有机会和他打牌，聊天。有机会更多了解他对生活的态度。有很多值得我学习的地方。以前他在哥大小群里常发些幽默有趣的段子，前不久还跟我太太聊起怎么好久没有树成的消息。现在打开哥大小群时会还会想起他发的笑话。本来还想着有机会可以再跟像树成打牌。真没想到他就这么英年早逝。愿他在天堂那边安好。树成一路走好。
希望京生和家人节哀顺变，保重身体。

我是2010年到杜克大学读博士，在PHD期间，我遇到了很多的困难，其中包括对未来职业选择的困惑和个人生活困难。宋老师经常邀请我到家里面给我讲文章，给我讲人生的道理。在这个期间，我认识了宋老师的先生Scott。Scott和蔼又风趣，常常用诙谐的语言给我聊天，他讲的彩色电视机黑白电视机例子我现在都还记得清清楚楚。Scott也喜欢带着我们看他的菜园子，里面种满了各种时令蔬菜。宋老师要做饭的时候，Scott就会去菜园子里面摘一些。我的妈妈还清楚的记得上次从宋老师家离开的时候Scott让我们带了一把刚从菜园子里面割下来的韭菜。
日光荏苒，转眼距离我最早认识Scott已经10年了，我16年从杜克毕业了之后一直忙于搭建自己的小家，生了两个小孩也在工作上面找到了新的兴趣，却一直没有顾得上回杜克去看看宋老师和Scott，没想到这一别竟成了永别。
Scott一路走好，宋老师和Scott的家人们节哀！

最近获悉SCOTT病重消息，倍感震惊！２０１９年年末， 就在COVID爆发前， 我在厦门大学惊喜遇见JEANNETTE，SCOTT和DAPHNE一家三口。十多年没见到 SCOTT， 他依旧那么年轻， 充满活力， 容貌几乎没变。DAPHNE 已经从当年的豆蔻少女长成了亭亭玉立的大姑娘。 今天获悉SCOTT已经离我们而去，倍感悲伤。很难想象三年里就物是人非了。
二十年多年前，我与妻子一起负笈美国杜克大学。繁重的学业，异国他乡的文化差异，心里上是倍感寂寞孤单。随着我家老大的出生，更是增添了经济上的窘迫。我记得JEANNETTE总是对我们嘘寒问暖，给我们一些做RA机会来帮助我们。宋老师的关怀，至今铭记在心。印象最深的是宋老师组织的家庭晚餐会。宋老师每年邀请系里老师和博士生们一块儿去她家聚会，一起做晚饭。在宋老师家首次碰到了SCOTT，印象最深的是他那亲切的微笑。话不多，但是让人能立刻感受到他的真诚和友善。
后来又去宋老师家聚会过一次，SCOTT依旧是带着他那灿烂的微笑来迎接我们。再后来，我一家子都来到了香港生活与工作。记得我们在香港聚过一次。最后一次偶遇SCOTT是２０１９年在厦门大学。
真没想到，这竟然是最后一次机会见到SCOTT了。一路走好，SCOTT！你永远活在我们心中。

The first time I met Scott was at the Thanksgiving party 20 years ago that Jeannette and he held for faculty members and PhD students like me. Scott’s wide knowledge and sharp insights highly impressed me, motivating me to think deeper. Scott’s big smile warmed our heart and brightened our life. When I moved to Hong Kong, Jeannette visited us with Scott and Daphne. We have some very fun talks together. I still remember our last trip before the outbreak of the COVID-19. We visited Xiamen and met Jeannette, Scott and Daphne there. Scott looked exactly the same as 20 years ago, but he joked that he shall be called Grandpa Liu. I cannot believe he is no more. You will forever remain alive in our hearts. Rest In Peace.

I have known Scott for 11 years. The last time I saw him in person was the winter of 2017 in China. We visited Shaolin Temple together with Jeannette and my husband Gang. Later, Gang met Scott for another time in the fall of 2018. They (together with Jeannette) enjoyed some Shandong style breakfast. Jeannette and Scott loved traveling to see various places and cultures – they took photos along the way and talked about recollecting those memories after retire.
When I was a graduate student at Duke, it was a tradition to spend Thanksgivings at Jeannette and Scott’s place. A requisite component of the Thanksgiving feasts (cooked by Jeannette) was the freshest veggies that Scott grew out of their backyard – Jeannette often advertised it as the shortest supply chain in the world, and the taste of freshness had become my special memories about Thanksgiving.
I enjoyed listening to Scott talking about all sorts of topics. Like everyone else, a major impression that he had left me with was the big warm smile he often had. He was always able to interpret complex things in a simple yet hilarious way. I still remember, during one Thanksgiving dinner, how Scott explained to Daphne the power of bending by asking her to push against his palm using one finger.
Over the past few Thanksgivings after I moved to Pennsylvania, Scott often shared with me photos of turkey that Jeannette baked, and he joked about digitizing the turkey for us to taste. I was also used to share with him photos of my daughter on important dates such as her birthdays and graduations. My daughter called him grandpa Liu. It’s saddening that I can no longer receive photos from Scott on Thanksgivings. I hope he will rest in peace and I will always miss him.

缅怀Scott
记忆中的Scott永远乐观豁达乐于分享，在Berkeley office时每每召集大家吃饭谈天小聚，那是我们大家难忘的一段欢乐时光... 回国以后相聚的机会少了，但是需要帮助时依然得到Scott 大拿关于Optimizer的无私协助和分享，难以忘怀无限感激。后来得知Scott身体有恙时还想着建议他回国看看试试，再后来得知是确诊渐冻症，除了节假日每每想发去问候联系但因这个病的预期不好又胆怯不已，现在想来只剩遗憾和怅然。。。
相信Scott是去了另一个没有病痛的世界，依然拥有家人的关爱，同事朋友们的友谊，所有人的牵挂。
Scott 一路走好。

忆树成兄
1982年应用数学所总共招了19位研究生，我们戏称18棵青松1棵柳。 树成正是那棵与那棵柳而结伴的青松。 在两年多的研究生学习中，我们和树成一起经历了人生中最有趣的一段时光。当时学运筹学 的有五位：树成，京生，西锁，小云，和我， 分别在规划论，马氏决策，排队论，图论 和可靠性五个领域。 在玉泉路研究生院上了一年课后，我们一起住在大钟寺，而应用所是在友谊宾馆。而后我们有换过几个地方，具体时间已经记不大清啦。 树成兄在这段时间一直是我们的组织者之一。他对我们就像大哥一样的关心。 他是我所遇到的最有仁慈与和蔼的一位。不管遇到怎样不愉快的事情，我没有见过他生气。 他是任何人都愿意一同工作的同事，是一位真正的贤士。研究生毕业各奔东西。和他最后一次联系还是他在旧金山工作的时候。本来想着退休后有时间可以聚一聚，没想到他已经等不到这一天。伤心之余，愿树成兄带着你的幽默一路走好：

树成兄（Scott):虽然预料到您会在与ALS斗争中最终会败下阵来，但绝对没想到这么快，并且在快要过感恩节的前三天不告而别，当嫂子告诉我您走了的恶耗时，我还是感到震惊和难受，再次体会到人的生命的脆弱。但在这个特别的时间里，我想对您说：感恩在我的生命中遇到您这样一位和蔼平易近人热心帮助所有您认识的好大哥，我在MSCI十年的工作里由于有您在，工作变得更丰富多彩，因为至少我们每个中国人都定期期盼您来公司工作的日子，这样我们就可以一起聚餐天南海北聊工作生活和各种八卦，让我和大家都在紧张工作中可以缓解一下工作压力放松亨受一下生活中的乐趣。当然更加亨受我们小群一起
喝酒的日子——常常借着酒劲更是无话不谈。特别感谢您对我在MSCI工作期间的具体帮助：由于工作需要与您老板Dan的沟通由于您的引见就交流顺畅多了。更难忘地是我心血来潮离开MSCI去中国创业时，做为老大哥的您还专门抽时间在北京见面交流您对我的工作的建议和期盼，受益匪浅。虽然后来首次创业失败回美国干个体户时接触变少，但还是尽量在您来加州时与您聚聚，每次都会感到高兴自在放松。您这么早就走了，对您家人和大家都是一大损失，但我还是理解您的难处，也许您是太痛苦了，一定坚持到最后才舍不得与您家人和大家分开。希望您在解脱在世时被ALS折磨的痛苦后，自由安歇在另一个世界，一路走好。我相信您的人格魅力在另一个世界一定也会让您在那里的经历同样丰富多彩，早晚我都会跟您在另一个世界见面的，到时再一起把酒言欢。当然，您这么早走了，一定也会牵挂您挚爱的妻子，儿子，女儿及其他家人，所幸的是，嫂子非常坚强，贤惠，儿子女儿孝顺懂事，我相信您的家人一定会将对您的爱放在心里，认真工作，好好生活，我们大家也会与您家人保持沟通，有任何需要我们都会尽力，让我们大家一起更加珍惜生命，互相交流互相支持互相帮助互相爱护，认真亨受生命中的每一天，我想这是纪念您的最好方式
